Trailer Towing - Chevrolet 1979 Light Duty Truck Owner's Manual

2. Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat. Children who can
sit up by themselves should be placed on a seat and restrained with
the seat belts provided. When children ride in a rear seat, they
should be restrained with a lap belt. When children ride in the
front seat, both lap and shoulder belt should be worn. If the
shoulder belt irritates neck or face due to the child's size, this may
be reduced by placing the child closer to the center of the truck.
If irritation is not reduced, place the child in a rear seat if present.
3.
General Motors advises that children should be restrained
properly when riding. However, unusual conditions may prevent
use of restraints, and require that a small child stand. If that
happens, the child should stand on the floor behind the driver ' s
seat. This will help reduce the chance of being hurt by a frontal
force impact in case of an accident.

TRAILER TOWING

Since this vehit:;le is designed and intended to be used mainly as a load
carrying vehicle, towing a trailer will affect handling, durability and
economy. Your safety and satisfaction depend upon proper use of
correct equipment. Also, you should avoid overloads and other abusive
use.
The maximum loaded trailer weight you can pull with your vehicle
depends on what special equipment has been installed on it. We do not
recommend towing any trailer over 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms) gross
trailer weight unless your vehicle has the required equipment.
CAUTION:
Do not try to tow any trailer over the weight· shown in the
chart below no matter what trailer towing equipment is installed. This
could seriously affect your vehicle's performance, durability or handling,
which could result in personal injury.
